Harry Herbert hailed leading jockey-turned-trainer Geoff Lewis as a "one of racing's great characters" following his death at the age of 89.
Lewis was best known for his association with the great Mill Reef during his days in the saddle, a horse he rode to victory in both the Derby and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in 1971.
